Welcome to Exciting Shanghai School

Exciting Shanghai School Welcome to Exciting Shanghai School Exciting Shanghai School consists of hands-on tutorials as well as keynote lectures on first-principles simulations in materials science.

This event is hosted by the International Centre for Quantum and Molecular Structures (ICQMS) of the Shanghai university, Shanghai, China, November 17-22, 2018

上海大学国际与分子结构中心承办, 上海,中国, 11月 17-22 日 2018年

Aims and scope:

The purpose of the school is to provide an introduction to DFT for beginners (master students, PhDs, and post-docs) ranging from its theoretical foundations to practical implementations in computer softwares. In particular, the full electron full potential augmented plane method will be described as implemented in the Exciting software. The necessary know-how for calculating materials property such as structural, magnetic, linear and non-linear optical, and magneto-optical properties etc will be discussed through hands-on sessions and tutorials. Last but not least, an introduction to the NOMAD project, i.e. Novel Materials Discovery, will be given.
